The House Republicans have reportedly blocked voting on the release of the Epstein files.
I can't believe this story is still in the news cycle, and it's the Republicans and Donald Trump's own fault.
Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche announced today they would be meeting with Gheelane Maxwell and that Trump has ordered them to release whatever credible information they have.
Now, I'm going to say it like this.
It's a very weird subject.
There are a lot of things going on in this country that we need solved.
The Epstein issue is very important, but it's a genre of news.
It is not the immediate pressing thing like border security, deportations, and Donald Trump's agenda, but it is one of the most important things in general for this country, which means we don't want to lose focus on it.
We want to make sure that we're moving forward and Thomas Massey and RoConna have a bill that is aptly worded, proper.
It would require the release of information related to the Epstein case that would not compromise victims, show inappropriate content of child abuse, nor would it compromise any ongoing investigations.
I think it's a good thing to do.
I think we should do it.
At the same time, there's an argument from the right that Democrats and the corporate press are pushing this narrative as hard as possible because it will derail Trump's agenda at the bare minimum, forcing the Republicans to focus on voting on the Epstein issue, which is a story that's not going to move anywhere substantively or move the nation.
And again, I got to clarify this because it's so contentious.
I'm not saying it's not important.
I'm saying in the instance of economic policy, the cost of your groceries, gasoline, those are the immediate agenda items that we're trying to get accomplished.
The Epstein stuff isn't going anywhere.
It can be handled and it can be addressed and it should be.
The Republican argument right now is we can handle this story in due time.
It's derailing us.
So I don't have a good answer for this as to why the Republicans decided to shut down the House voting, which would effectively block Thomas, Massey, and RoConna's bill to release these files.
I say, be done with it.
I don't understand why Donald Trump is the one fanning the flames of this story and then acting like he's upset about it.
And then Mike Johnson, who previously said this stuff should be released, is now the one saying that we're going to recess for the entire month of August.
So let me just simplify it, guys.
They're going to be leaving for a month.
And the corporate press across the board is saying they're doing this to block Epstein.
Well, let me make sure we can cut through the noise.
I don't know what their intentions are, but by doing this, they won't be voting on the Epstein files that Massey is going absolutely ham on right now.
It also means there's a few immigration bills they won't vote on either.
So it does seem like they're trying to run from this bill.
And at the same time, it is Donald Trump's administration that won't shut up about Epstein.
Trump himself blasting off about it.
Pam Bondi, Todd Blanch, even Cash Patel quote tweeting saying, let's go.
I think he said, get it.
If they really wanted this story to go away because there's nothing there, they would just shut up.
And the Obama news would have taken everything over.
So I can't tell you what the hell is going on.
None of it seems to make sense.
So I can only tell you the surface level news, and then y'all can try and figure it out for yourselves.
So let's do just that.
Now, my friends, before we get started, we got a great sponsor.
It is Bear Bars.
Clean, grass-fed protein bar.
That's B-A-R-E.
You go to getbearbars.com, use promo code TIM.
These are protein bars with grass-fed beef.
They got none of the filler, none of the BS.
I think this is absolutely fantastic.
So my friends, we're all trying to get healthier.
Grabbing protein bars that look healthy.
But did you know that a lot of these bars are junk?
Dude, some of them have what I would Describe as cardboard in them.
I mean, not literally, but there's some protein bars I go to the grocery store and I'm looking at it and I'm like, this is not food.
It's like eating styrofoam so that you don't feel hungry anymore.
Not bear bars.
This is grass-fed beef, beef tallow with honey and real sea salt.
So it's what you thought you were getting when you buy protein bars.
It's real food with minimal ingredients.
Bear bars, literally beef protein.
It's got 20 grams of clean, grass-fed beef protein.
Excuse me.
A light and fluffy texture, not a gut bomb like a lot of these other bars.
It's naturally sweet, easy on your stomach.
And most importantly, it tastes amazing.
So these guys got it right.
It's a high-quality bar without the junk.
So try it, man.
You got to try it.
You get 15% off if you use promo code TIM at getbearbars.com.
That's B-A-R-E.
That's getbearbars.com.
Get them.
I'm a big health food guy.
You know, I love all of my weird, healthy foods and all that stuff.
This stuff is legit.
And I shouldn't call it weird, honestly.
It's what food's supposed to be.
Don't forget, though, we got coffee.
Go to castbrew.com.
Buy your coffee today.
We got the birthday blend for the 4th of July.
We got 1776 Josie Special, her signature brew.
It's American cream.
It's Boston cream flavor.
We call it American Cream.
And then, of course, everyone's favorite Appalachian Nights.
I drink this every day.
It is my favorite.
Thanks for supporting the show.
Link in the description below.
But let's read the story from CNN.
You know, we love CNN, right?
And I know everyone's going to be like, why are you reading CNN?
Because it's important to use these sources when we dissect how they're framing these things and what we actually know.
Johnson shuts door on House vote before September on releasing Epstein files.
They report, Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the House's final week in Washington before a weeks-long recess, despite intense pressure from some of his own GOP members to go on record on the issue.
So let me clarify, because I've seen conflicting sources on this.
Some reports that I've seen say outright, they're going to be gone for August.
This is saying weeks long.
I've also read other reports saying they will return to vote in September.
So maybe what they're actually saying is they may come back, but they're not going to be voting until September.
It's conflicting reports.
Some of President Donald Trump's most loyal supporters in Congress have been pressing party leaders to allow for a vote to show they support transparency around the Epstein saga, an issue that continues to animate the MAGA base, even as Trump has repeatedly sought to blame Democrats for fanning the flames.
And here's what I don't get.
What I don't understand, my friend, is that, my friends, plural, if Donald Trump said, release whatever you can that's credible, go to the courts and get the grand jury stuff released.
If there's nothing there, just pass the stupid Depstein thing.
Unless there's something there and they're not telling us the truth.
Now, I'm going to stress it again.
I am getting frustrated on this story, and I blame the Trump administration for two reasons.
They are the one forcing it into the spotlight, making this the top of the news cycle.
And they're the ones also not just releasing the files.
We can talk about anything else.
We can talk about immigration.
We can talk about, excuse me, that about sneeze.
There's that officer who got shot in the face by an illegal immigrant the Democrats released.
We could talk about Barack Obama, cross-fire hurricane.
But the Trump administration decided this morning, Epstein is the story.
You tell me why.
I don't know.
Because at the same time, they're also blocking it as if it's one big distraction.
We are not going to get any answers on it.
The Republicans aren't going to allow movement while Trump makes sure it's the only thing we focus on.
Why?
Honest guys, comment and tell me what you think.
Because I'm going to say it again.
PR-101, sit down, shut up, don't talk about it.
Yet in this regard, they won't stop talking about it.
Then, okay, Massey and Rocana have the bill.
And then Johnson says, no, we're not going to vote on it.
We're shutting it down.
So we're in stasis.
We're in limbo.
The only thing that makes sense is this is the actual distraction.
They don't intend to release anything on Epstein.
So they've locked us in this position where Trump is saying, you have to do it.
And Johnson's saying, I won't let you do it.
So we go nowhere and we don't focus at all on the issues this country actually needs to move forward with.
They're going to say Johnson told CNN on Monday the full House would not vote on a pending measure from the members of his own party, a non-binding resolution calling for the release of additional Epstein files before the chamber's August recess, which is slated to begin at the weekend.
My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing.
And if further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we'll look at that.
But I don't think we're at that point right now because we agree with the president.
Now, vote on it then.
If the House agrees and Congress agrees, and this is the problem with these bad speakers, as part of the deal to approve the White House's resistance package last week, Johnson reached an accord with the GOP holdouts that allowed the House Rules Committee to advance that non-binding resolution calling for the Epstein files release.
But it is unclear if that measure will make it to the House floor, with Johnson firmly standing behind Trump on the matter.
Quote, there is no daylight between the House Republicans, the House and the President on maximum transparency.
Trump wants all the credible files in Epstein to be released and asked Attorney General Pam Bonnie to produce grand jury testimony related to the case, and all of that is in process right now.
So to be fair, with that being the case, I honestly don't know if we need the bill or it all seems like one big distraction.
Now, Rokan and Thomas Massey have put this forward.
They want this released.
I agree.
But if Pam Bondi is already working on and they're meeting with Ghylaine Maxwell, why do you need this bill to be filed?
I have no idea.
Now, Steve Scalise, the House Majority Leader, has come out with a statement this morning that is all just, I mean, it's a strong statement.
But on the issue of Epstein, all of it I find just oh so confusing as if there is no unity in the party over how to handle this.
Unless keeping everybody in chaos and confused was the point.
Here's the statement given by Rep Scalise.
steve scalise ▲ ● ▼
Well, it's been a very busy first six months working with the Trump administration to deliver critical wins for hardworking families across America, to deliver wins on those issues that we all ran on, the things we said we would do if we got a Republican White House, Republican Senate, and Republican House.
And of course, the one big, beautiful bill really is the epitome of so many of those victories, but that's not all we've done.
The President has already signed or has on his desk 31 different bills that have been passed by the House and Senate on the desk of the President, almost all of which have been signed into law.
After today, maybe all 31 will have been signed into law to continue delivering and getting our country back on track, reversing the damage that was done by Joe Biden in four years.
What the Democrats did working with Joe Biden, not just to increase inflation, increase interest rates, to increase regulations and rules that stifled the ability for small businesses to grow.
We've been working hard to reverse all of that.
And while we are celebrating all of these wins, we are not tired of winning.
And the American people aren't either.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And there you go.
That's a strong statement.
You got Politico saying basically the same thing.
Epstein crisis forces House, GOP to scrap votes.
You got Newsweek, Republicans shut down House floor to avoid Epstein vote.
House grinds to halt as GOP tries to shut down Epstein votes.
That's the news.
That's the narrative every single step of the way.
Now, in the meantime, Thomas Massey has a white binder that says the Epstein files phase two, HRES 581.
Oh boy.
I dig it.
I really do.
That's an interesting argument and question I have for all y'alls that are watching because Scalise makes an interesting point.
It's a good point.
The Trump agenda is working on getting things done that we want done.
The border is secure.
It's not perfect, but they've secured it massively.
ICE raids and deportations, they're going after these pot farms.
They're going after criminal gang members.
The American people wanted this.
Donald Trump's tariff policy is contentious, but I think we're seeing some successes.
If anything, Trump is working on it, and we'll see.
We didn't get hyperinflation due to the tariffs.
Trump's now meeting with the Philippines to discuss a new trade agreement.
So ultimately, it looks like Trump is doing the job to improve this nation as we have voted for it.
Now, the Epstein case is a long-standing case that exists beyond the Trump administration and was persistent during the Obama administration.
And apparently, the prosecutor said he was intelligence and they were told to let him go.
I don't know the full details of Epstein.
What I can tell you is I want those answers because I don't accept the corruption in government, be it from the Obama crossfire hurricane garbage, RussiaGate scandal, or be it Epstein.
That being said, neither of these things are direct policy positions that will improve the lives generally of the American people.
I would actually, and now we're between this rock and a hard place.
So I'd put it like this.
I want to see, I want to see Crossfire Hurricane investigations, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, former Intel bigwigs who were lying to the American people.
I want to see that investigated.
Now, the Epstein stuff is interesting, but we don't really know.
What we know is he was a bad guy who did bad things and one of the worst.
One of the worst.
And he was gallivanting about his private jet and his island with powerful interests.
I would like answers on that, but I got to be honest.
If I'm weighing what I want to see done first, it's going to be day to day.
Republicans need to be getting the job done so that we can survive, afford our way of life, that our young people can have houses and have children.
That's priority number one.
I'm sorry, priority number two is going to be Obama and Russia Gate.
Now, there's going to be a lot of people being like, oh, Tim got the call.
That's what they all keep saying about everybody else.
They got the call as if there's phone calls going out about Epstein.
No, on this list, Epstein's number three.
It's high up there.
But I'm going to put it like this.
How much time and energy do we have?
There is an old Japanese proverb.
He who tries to catch two rabbits will catch neither.
Indeed.
And so I look at it this way.
If we do not have a functioning government and economy, Trump and the Republicans lose the midterms.
We lose the midterms, the agenda is cooked, and we get nothing after that.
First and foremost, secure the base and the middle of the road of this country so that we can try to maintain the House in the midterms, at least to whatever degree we can.
Otherwise, Trump will be impeached.
After that, we have to make sure that criminal elements that were seeking to steal power and who had engaged in a seditious conspiracy against this country or a treasonous conspiracy, as Tulsi Gabbard stated it, must be brought to justice.
Why?
Because if they usurp power, Trump's agenda is cooked.
Only after you've put on your own oxygen mask can you secure the masks of others.
Meaning, the Epstein story isn't going anywhere.
They may have, either they destroyed the evidence already, or it's something that can be worked on in the background.
And it doesn't need to be everybody in Congress screaming about releasing these files 24-7.
My fear is that the reason the corporate press and the Democrats are going so gung-ho on pushing this story is that they are attempting to derail Trump, smear him, and malign him so they can try and win in the midterms.
If we fall off balance and allow them the attack, then the end result is going to be Trump loses the midterms.
The Republicans lose the midterms.
Donald Trump is then impeached.
His agenda is cooked.
Democrats take the seat in 2028.
They then flood this country just in time with illegal immigrants, just in time for the 2030 census.
They then secure a permanent power base, and we the people will never win again.
I don't got good answers for you.
I know a lot of people are upset and say get the Epstein stuff out there.
Here's the image of Thomas Massey with his Epstein files, phase two.
And we've got this.
Breaking, U.S. Rep Thomas Massey announces he will lead independent phase two of congressional investigation into the Epstein files.
unidentified
I was wondering with the paralysis in the rules committee, it seems like they're not going to be meeting again today because of Epstein amendments.
Have you chatted with anybody about that?
thomas massie ▲ ● ▼
Well, it wouldn't really matter.
Their Epstein bill resolution is non-binding, so it's kind of fake.
The resolution that I have co-sponsored with Rocano would actually bring up legislation that would be binding on the president.
unidentified
Is your understanding that that will ripen the day after lawmakers get back from August recess?
thomas massie ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, unfortunately, we have six days and we needed seven days for the discharge petition to ripen before we could bring this up before the August recess.
So we'll have to bring it up after the August recess.
But the good news is, the speaker has no interest in keeping us here one extra day.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Indeed.
So there you go.
Natalie Denilition says, Thomas Massey holding phase two of the Epstein files.
His H Res 581 bill.
If you look down at his other hand, you can see the screw sticking out of it.
He just had surgery.
So this is really, really funny.
Man, guys, sometimes I wish we lived in a movie.
We don't live in a movie.
Thomas Massey busted his thumb.
Apparently, a fence broke.
He tweeted about it.
He posted, the ex posted about this.
A fence broke and he went to go fix it and he accidentally got a, what like a screw or a pin jammed into his thumb and it is merciless.
The image that he posted is just, whoo.
People were actually making the claim that as he tried to press for the Epstein release, someone like mafia style broke his thumb.
unidentified
Like, if you know what's good for you, Red Mercy, you won't do the files.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And they bash.
He's like, ah, you'll never stop me.
I wish.
Life is routine.
It's boring.
I remember the first time I went to congressional offices.
I can't remember.
I don't know the names of the buildings, but it's like we're up on the roof and we're standing there.
And I'm like, it's also mundane, right?
You imagine that there's this strong apparatus.
Men in suits show up and they say, put the desk there, put it there.
This is the new one.
The offices, okay, so I can't remember whose office it was.
Was it Bobert's?
I don't know.
They had, to go on the roof, they had like a $20 step stool from Walmart up to a window.
And it was literally just duct tape.
Everything everywhere is just duct tape all the time.
At least for a long time.
And it's cool to be there.
But the interesting thing is when you do get there, you realize it's just a bunch of people.
That's it.
And the story is never as crazy as you expect it to be.
Sometimes it is.
Don't get me wrong.
Prisoner swaps and war and UFO reports.
These things happen.
But I would just say the majority of the time, these stories are going to be mundane.
But anyway, Donald Trump is pissed.
Donald Trump posted a truth social.
Thomas Massey, the worst Republican congressman and an almost guaranteed no vote each and every time, is an embarrassment to Kentucky.
He's lazy, slow moving, and totally disingenuous, a real loser.
Never has anything positive to add.
Looking for someone good to run against this guy, someone I can endorse and vigorously campaign for.
I'm going to explain once again the left is a cult by saying I'm a big fan of Thomas Massey.
I think he's our best member of Congress, and I support his efforts.
I really do.
There is a tribal view which I can understand and respect, and that is we must be in unison on these issues if we want to maximize our victories and our successes.
And that's why I often say, I disagree with Thomas Massey on this issue or that issue.
And, you know, he didn't want to oust Kevin McCarthy, and he had his reasons.
He thought McCarthy was going to cut deals or something to that effect.
I don't know.
I can ask him about it later.
And I said, no, I disagree.
And then instance, Massey was actually with the majority on keeping McCarthy in.
Right now, the issue is, how does Donald Trump win?
First and foremost, I do not believe for a second that Donald Trump is implicated in the Epstein files, at least in the way the liberals would imply.
Maybe he is in some shady real estate deal, but if he was actually cavorting with Epstein as it pertained to the trafficking of young girls, the Democrats would have leaked that in 2016.
A single sentence is all it would have taken.
Now, perhaps the argument is they were scared that if any amount of information about Trump got out, that would be used to justify the release or the investigations into the files themselves.
Maybe at this point, no.
They could have done it in 2020.
Epstein's dead, I guess.
They had control of the evidence in the Biden administration.
They could have done it, and they did not.
And considering they falsely accused him of rape already and civil fraud, as well as an insurrection, which never went anywhere, I think accusing him of being involved with Epstein is actually at a lower scale than what they've already done.
Meaning, it is crazier.
They brought him to trial over a fake civil fraud case and fake felony charges than to just be like, here's a fake snippet from files we can just claim exists when it doesn't.
That's why I'm like, if they're not willing to even lie about that, I don't think it's there.
Again, you can make the argument they're not willing because they don't want to open up the Epstein case and implicate themselves.
Some people are arguing that the reality is the Democrats fabricated evidence against Donald Trump himself.
And now the files are all tainted and fabricated and he can't release them.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I don't know.
And I don't care.
Okay.
Here's the challenge.
It is simple math.
Do you guys want to go 100% on the Epstein files and say, let's get that, let's get to the bottom of it?
It's a fair argument.
We should.
The argument being that if Epstein was blackmailing these world leaders, breaking apart this conspiracy can break the chains of oppression.
Maybe what's really holding back this country is the fear of this blackmail.
And if Trump is involved, well, so what?
If you expose the uniparty machine and what they were doing with Epstein, perhaps we can turn this thing Around.
Now, I don't know exactly why Trump doesn't want it released, whatever.
Maybe the argument is: if we go full steam on the Epstein stuff over and over and nothing else, then the Trump agenda does not get done.
I'll tell you one thing: it was politically expedient during the Biden administration to focus so heavily on Epstein because the Republicans had no power to do anything.
The Democrats were engaging in their agenda, and talking about Epstein was derailing them.
And the Democrats said nothing.
Now that Trump is in, same thing.
The Democrats are now ragging on Epstein, and the Republicans are blocking it.
So you have to wonder if everybody is implicated in this, and it's a game of chicken that both sides know neither will want to finish.
Well, I can add the DOJ will be meeting with Gheelane Maxwell, so there are some potentialities, as it were.
Of course, this could be.
What if the Trump administration set things up intentionally so that they could force the Democrats to argue in favor of the release of these files, then go to Gheelane Maxwell and say, we've gotten corroborating witness testimony based on information in the files that we thought was not evidence.
Now we do have a direct link with this testimony, and therefore Trump produces a list.
I will say this.
The reason that I believe Donald Trump is at least to a certain degree morally good, yo, the amount of things Trump could do right now as president to seize control of this country, and it ain't even hard.
Look at the Russiagate hoax, right?
The Obama stuff, the emails, spygate, whatever.
Look at the evil that Democrats did to Donald Trump.
Arresting Carter Page, colluding with Ukrainians to go after Paul Manafort.
Let me pull this one up because I know that every single time these liberals and media go, Tim Pool's pushing misinformation.
Help Hillary interfere.
So I always got to pull up this story.
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.
Okay, here you go.
It's from Politico.
It's from 2017.
Never been retracted.
Never been corrected.
This is what Democrats were willing to do.
This is what they were willing to do back in the day.
Trump's not even willing to do anything like this.
That's how I know the likelihood is that Trump is morally good.
He may be morally bad for a lot of other reasons, don't get me wrong, but I'm saying he's genuine.
There is a possibility.
It's all one big ploy.
It's all one big play.
But I made the argument that because Donald Trump isn't putting out a fake list or instructing the DOJ to make fake lists targeting his enemies, which he could do very easily, it's because he's got scruples, because that would be wrong, because he doesn't want to do it.
How easy would it be right now for the Trump administration to simply say, after speaking with Ghelane Maxwell, she corroborated information, and here's the Epstein client list, and it's just the J6 committee.
Obviously, you wouldn't do it like that, but I'm making the point.
What he would do is say, like, here's a list of people that are implicated in the Epstein investigation that Democrats asked us to perform, resulting in bogging down Adam Schiff and Barack Obama and other Democrats with an investigation that wastes their money and their time and weakens them politically, smearing their brand and tarnishing them forever.
Now, I've heard the argument that these Democrats would welcome it because then they get to claim that they're martyrs being attacked by a fascistic regime.
Maybe, but there's a lot of normies out there who are going to be like, wait, they were on the Epstein list and Trump could do it, but he does not.
So my friends, I have to say in conclusion, I can't see through this one.
It makes no sense.
It's chaos.
It's noise.
I don't, you know, normally I feel like when it comes to action someone might take, you can make guesses at their motivations.
A guy was walking down the street with his dog and he stopped at a pet store.
He went inside.
Okay, we can easily make guesses as to what his motivations might be.
I think maybe he's picking up supplies for his dog, dog food, or getting his dog's haircut, right?
In this regard, everything Trump is doing is contradictory.
A guy walking his dog, screaming at his dog about how he hates him is not really his dog anymore and he wants him to leave, then walks to the pet store.
We'd make the assumption he's trying to give the dog away, but then he buys a bunch of biscuits and instructs his dog walker to make sure the dog has all the treats in the world.
And you're like, wait, what?
I don't understand what you're doing.
And then he blocks the shopkeeper from actually grabbing the biscuit.
I'm just, I don't even know what's going on at this point.
I look at Donald Trump saying, who cares about Epstein and Thomas Massey is bad.
Then his DOJ is instructed to do this, fanning the flames and releasing further statements on the Epstein story.
Are they just so incompetent?
They're spinning in circles in pure chaos?
Man, I tell you what, I could not figure it out.
But I'll wrap this one up here.

Share the show with everyone, you know.
You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
Really do appreciate you guys watching and supporting all the work.
Let me just add, you know, for the first several years, we started doing some marketing stuff recently.
We got a billboard ad campaign for the Culture War podcast in DC.
We've got billboards for Timcast IRL.
But the show only exists at this point because y'all shared the show.
That's it.
People who watched shared the show, told their friends about it, and word of mouth made the show big.
Sharing clips and things like that generated a lot of attention for us.
So if you're watching on Rumble, Instagram X, wherever you may be, YouTube, sharing the video really does help, and I really do appreciate it.
It's tough because we're in this shorts era with TikTok, with YouTube, with Instagram.
It's hard for these longer form shows to survive.
So I really do appreciate you guys tuning in.
Smash the like button.
Stay tuned.
We got more to come.
And we'll see you all in the next segment.
As for everybody else, I don't believe we have an interview lined up today, but we do have fun conspiracies ongoing.
So we will just simply jump into the next story for you guys.
And this is breaking as of yesterday.
Fox News reporting, FBI botched investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, declassified documents allege.
Comey's decision-making process smacks of political infection, Senator Grassley said, railing against the former FBI director.
This story is massive.
Hillary Clinton had a private server in her basement or bathroom or whatever.
Now, we don't know what was on it because she destroyed it in violation of a congressional subpoena.
Public servants are supposed to document all of their communications for the record, and we do this to make sure that there's not corruption.
Interestingly, there is a theory.
Maybe it's wrong.
The Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Foundation.
The Clintons allegedly were running these nonprofits, and while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, they were getting hundreds of millions of dollars.
And then as soon as she lost the election, the donations all dried up.
The implication, the theory, of course, is that Clinton was running a private server.
Comey was protecting her under the Obama administration because these communications were basically the back channel so that the Clintons or whoever they're working for could get money from foreign governments in exchange for official state actions from the United States.
That is, there are many that believe the actual ObamaGate conspiracy against Trump was to maintain an ongoing criminal conspiracy that usurped the authority and power of the American people, transferring it to the kleptocracy, powerful elites that were using the power of U.S. government to the benefit of foreign nations in exchange for cold, hard cash right in their pockets.
When word got out that Hillary Clinton was running a private server, Congress said we'd like you to turn over those emails, some 35,000, perhaps even more.
Clinton then had staffers basically digitally burn all of the documents.
They used an app called BleachBit, which destroyed the server so they could not recover any data.
She then had her staffers smash their phones with hammers.
Is that what an innocent person does when they're working in government and are required to turn over their records?
Now, why is it, though we know this story, this is not the biggest scandal?
Why is this not the biggest news?
Let me just stress this again.
Hillary Clinton had her staffers smash cell phones with hammers and use a program called BleachBit to destroy the records on a private server she was ordered to turn over.
That's destruction of evidence.
That is a crime.
Why didn't the FBI arrest her?
Dare I say, my friends, the information released by Grassley as well as Tulsi Gabbard, it appears, yes, there is a criminal element of the U.S. government at the highest levels that were seeking to enrich themselves.
And they did it at the expense of the U.S. government, damaging and burning and hurting this country.
Perhaps that was always the deal.
They accused Donald Trump of working with Russia, our enemy.
I wonder if the Obama administration was actually working with China, our enemy, to weaken this country's base, destroy Gen Z's opportunities, so that this country would be eroded from within all four access to wealth that would be provided to them.

But now, let's read the news from Fox News.
They report, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released declassified documents related to the FBI's investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server when she served in federal government, revealing the FBI reportedly failed to fully investigate the matter.
Quote, this document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI's investigation of former Secretary Clinton's email usage and mishandling of highly classified information, Grassley said in a Monday press release.
Quote, under Comey's leadership, the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor.
The Comey FBI's negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton investigation is a stark contrast to its full-throated investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which was based on uncorroborated and now discredited steel dossier.
Comey's decision-making process smacks of political infection.
But wait, I'm burying the lead.
There's more.
Take a look at this from the Gateway Pundit.
Newly declassified DOJ watchdog report on Hillary Clinton's private server reveals Barack Obama's email was hacked.
Interesting.
Now we'll get to that.
But what does that mean that Obama's email may have been hacked?
They go on to say Clinton, this Fox News again, who served as former President Barack Obama's Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, was investigated by the FBI over claims she improperly stored or transmitted classified materials on a private email server.
The FBI advised the Department of Justice in 2016, ahead of that year's massive election, that pitted Clinton against future President Donald Trump, that Clinton should not face prosecution over the matter.
Quote, although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case, Comey said in a press release.
Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges.
There are obvious considerations like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent.
Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person's actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past.
That is, many people were making the argument that this actually damaged Hillary Clinton, that Comey had betrayed the Democrats.
In fact, no, I'd argue this.
They knew they were cooked.
Comey went in and said, I have to do this, but let's make It look legit.
I'll claim that there were some considerations, but not a strong case, despite the fact this is maybe one of the strongest cases we'd ever seen.
Grassley specifically released declassified materials from the Clinton Annex, which is an appendix to the DOJ Office of Inspector General's 2018 report that reviewed the DOJ and FBI's handling of the Clinton investigation.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and other Trump admin leaders and other agencies declassified the materials and delivered them to Grassley at his request, his press release reported.
My friends, Donald Trump thought he was playing ball.
When he beat Hillary Clinton, he thought, I won, and now I'm going to play ball.
He thought he was negotiating and took him for a ride.
He met with powerful individuals, Republican and Democrat, and said, listen, we're going to work on our agenda.
We're not going to jail Hillary.
We don't want to do that.
And you know what they did?
They put the knife in his back.
Donald Trump thought he was playing ball and they said, yeah, we're not playing ball with him.
And for that, Donald Trump was dragged through the mud, battered and bruised.
But now he's got a new administration and a second chance.
And he's saying, I ain't backing down.
They get away from our reports.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday released the newly declassified Clinton Annex.
An appendix to the DOJ Inspector General's 2018 report shows that James Comey's FBI deliberately ignored key evidence in Hillary Clinton's email scandal, stonewalled Congress, and prioritized politics over national security.
Recall that Hillary Clinton used a private server to conduct official government business while she was the head of the Department of State.
What the FBI covered up.
Thumb drives containing sensitive data tied to the State Department, Congress, and even President Obama himself were seized and then ignored.
An FBI memo recommended further searches, but the Bureau leadership squashed the probe.
Intelligence reports indicated coordination between then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and operatives from the Soros-funded Open Study Foundation to suppress the investigation.
The FBI failed to pursue leads that the Obama admin intentionally derailed the Clinton probe to protect her 2026 candidacy.
The newly discovered DOJ watchdog report revealed Barack Obama's email was hacked and the FBI was aware of the hack.
Hillary Clinton transmitted classified materials over her private server and even outed the name of a clandestine CIA agent.
Judicial Watch previously obtained Hillary Clinton email documents, which included declassified information, discussions about Benghazi, and detailed communications with Barack Obama.
The OIG obtained thumb drives from the FBI's mid-year team investigating Hillary Clinton's email scandal.
The thumb drives were necessary to conduct a thorough and complete investigation and to assess the national security risks associated with Hillary Clinton's private server.
The first five thumb drives handed over to the OIG contained data from various U.S. victims, including the executive office of the president.
Wait, wait, executive office, office of the president, the State Department, the U.S. House of Representatives, and other federal agencies.
Obama's emails were hacked, quote.
Examples of U.S. victim information that analyzed, you know what, let's do this.
Let's do this.
Let's pull up these tweets and go direct to the source.
We've got Julie Kelly and Lee Smith.
Kelly says, according to just released declassified annex to DOJ OIG report, Barack Obama's email were hacked and the FBI was of aware.
Thumb drives one through five, it reads, and heavily redacted, mind you.
The first five thumb drives were obtained by the FBI in redacted.
These thumb drives primarily contained data exfiltrated by redacted from various U.S. victims, including the executive office of the president, the State Department, the U.S. House of Representatives, other federal agencies, and private sector and educational institutions.
FBI employees told us it was highly likely the data exfiltrated from other unknown U.S. victims was also present on these thumb drives.
They go on to say redacted in redacted FBI personnel.
Redacted processed redacted.
It's fun reading, isn't it?
The first five thumb drives in FBI personnel processed the first five thumb drives.
I have no idea what that says.
Redacted.
They reviewed data on the thumb drives and determined that it contained U.S. victim information.
FBI personnel told us the data on the first thumb drives appeared to have been obtained from redacted because the FBI personnel could see and then you got a big redacted sentence.
Examples of U.S. victim information that the analysts observed during this review include former President Barack Obama's emails, possible evidence of an redacted intrusion into the blank, redacted, advance intelligence about a planned FBI arrest of a Russian citizen, network infrastructure, diagrams for U.S. government, classified workers, and other potentially classified U.S. government information.
That's interesting.
Lee Smith says Obama email was hacked likely because Hillary sent him an email from her private server when she was on the tarmac of St. Petersburg airport, meaning Hillary directly compromised the president's communications.
And we got nothing.
So I ask you guys to let me know what you think.
Be involved in the conversation.
What's going on?
This is almost 10 years ago.
Swept under the rug.
But today, the conspiracy continues.
And the argument from Mike Davis of the Article 3 project is that so long as the conspiracy continues, the statute of limitations is not over.
That's the interesting thing about a conspiracy.
It will never end.
It will keep going because they must maintain the lies.
Bloomberg reports, Trump's deep fake of Obama is meant to change the subject.
Is it?
It's an argument made by the NBC as well.
But I have to wonder if it really is.
Bloomberg reports.
The president is playing some of MAGA's favorite songs.
At just the moment, his bass seems in danger of splintering.
And that's true.
But again, Pam Bondi and Blanche brought up Epstein again today.
They had no reason to do it.
They could have just let it go.
They did not have to reignite this news cycle story.
For those that are wondering, I'm drinking Rev 7.
They say it is both sad and unsurprising.
President Donald Trump posted a deep fake video former President Obama being arrested in the Oval Office, battling for position with his megabase, which is furious over his inaction on the so-called Epstein files.
Trump has resorted to an old tactic, distraction.
He has raised another conspiracy theory to change the subject.
But in sharing the video, which is created by another user, he is sinking to a new low, even for the president who encouraged crowds to chant lock her up about Hillary Clinton and repeatedly smeared the Biden crime family.
I see this.
We also got this from NBC News.
Anid Epstein fallout, the Trump administration turns to other MAGA grievances.
The president posted a fake AI video of Obama being arrested as Attorney General Pam Bondi released a report on the 2016 FBI investigation into Clinton's emails.
I wonder.
Is the real distraction NBC News claiming it's a distraction?
The Democrats and the corporate press want Epstein to be the centerpiece.
I'd argue, to be honest, that Trump doesn't, but he clearly does.
Trump puts out a post about it.
He instructs the DOJ to go after the files.
He could have just let it fade away.
He could have pleaded ignorance.
It starts when Pam Bondi gets asked about it, and Trump interrupts and says, do we really care about Epstein?
He gets asked about it again.
You know what Trump could have done?
And I said it before, but I'll say, Trump could have said, it's a big story.
It's a big story.
We're looking into it.
What that guy did, he was a creepy guy.
So the DOJ is going to dig in and we'll figure it out.
But thank you for the question.
And about immigration, that's easy, right?
Instead, he goes off.
They make this the story.
So I wonder if there's some baiting going on here.
And that is to say, Donald Trump wants revenge.
Donald Trump tweeted this.
How did Samantha Power make all that money?
The shady bunch.
It's a meme somebody else made.
It's the Brady Bunch, but you've got all of these Democrat personalities.
And he made Barack Obama wearing a tan jumpsuit.
Very clever, by the way.
Clapper, Brennan, Rhodes, Comey, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, all in orange jumpsuits, holding up what looks like would be their, you know, they got to hold up the number with their name on it or something when you get arrested.
I think Donald Trump wants revenge against Barack Obama.
He wants revenge against Barack Obama for spying on him and for everything we saw the Obama admin do to try and steal power and destroy Donald Trump.
And it's not just revenge.
If the Trump administration does not get justice on these issues, we run the risk of these people taking power once again.
There was an attempt on Trump's life.
A bullet struck his ear, but by the grace of God, he tilted his head.
Trump's home was raided at Mar-a-Lago.
The agents that did the raid were armed with live rounds and instructed that they were authorized to use lethal force if they encountered commiserate force.
Why would anyone assume that the semi-public Mar-a-Lago resort with little old ladies ordering yogurt with berries is going to be a place you need to draw weapons on anybody?
Was the argument that there were going to be a bunch of MAGA extremists with rifles at Mar-a-Lago?
Of course not.
So why would they need that authorization?
I wonder, when you look at what the Obama and Biden were willing to do as far as they were willing to go to destroy Donald Trump, would Trump not want revenge?
Is he going to let this slight slide?
And more importantly, in principled matter, is he going to allow evil people to walk scot-free and potentially take back the reins of power in this country?
I'd say no.
The question then becomes, what's the real distraction?
As the Democrats and the corporate press won't shut up about Epstein, I got to wonder what their motivation is.
Because these are not trustworthy individuals.
You know, I like Rokan and Thomas Massey, so hey, I'm good.
Release the files, which you can at least.
But the rest of the Democrats voting on this, I think it's clear they want to distract.
But I wonder if Trump is entertaining it and playing into it to let them do it, to let them run those distractions.
Now, I do think it's funny that NBC News brings up, you know, Trump says change the name to Redskins, AI generated mugshots, attacking Adam Schiff, accusing him of crimes.
He's done all these things to try and change the subject.
They say on Friday, DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, revisited the 2016 election, referring to what Obama did as a treasonous conspiracy.
But I have to say, if all of that was just a distraction, why would Trump have his DOJ then come out this morning and say they will meet with Gheelane Maxwell?
Now, this is a funny clip that Alex Jones posted.
Trump is taking off the gloves.
Big stuff is about to go down.
And it appears to be a Trump truth post showing the video Hillary Clinton did not want you to see.

Remember John F. Kennedy Jr.?
He was declared the frontrunner for the New York Senate seat back in 1999.
Days later, his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, and his rival, Hillary Clinton, was elected senator.
Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern.
She knew enough of the inner workings of Bill's sexual advancements to be a star witness during the Clinton impeachment trials.
She was brutally executed at a Starbucks she was managing in 1997.
In 1993, White House counsel Vince Fester was found dead in Fort Marcy Park near D.C. He supposedly killed himself.
And amongst a lengthy list of potential top play, the bullet was never found.
This is Jason McDougal, a keywitness of the White House prosecutors.
He was serving his three-year sentence for bank robots at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas.
And just before he was to give a testimony before the grand jury, McDougal suffered a heart attack in solitary confinement.
In 2015, Walter Scheiv, a White House chef hired under Bill Clinton, joined the list.
His body was found at the bottom of a river, nearly two miles from the base of the trail he was reportedly hiking.
An autopsy determined that Scheib's death was accidental drowning, but he might have known too much.

I just want to add real quick: like the reason I'm showing you this, this does not appear on Trump's Truth Social.
This is not something Trump has posted as far as I can tell.
And I want to stress with the Clinton body count conspiracy theory, while certainly prominent high-profile individuals like in the State Department are going to be associated with wet works, they call it, Abdurrahman al-Ala Laki, Anuar al-Alaki, a guy who was hiking and was found at the bottom of a river, guys, to be honest, these things happen and they're tragic.
We don't know for sure.
Now, many people have pointed out that there are a lot of these deaths surrounding the Clintons, and then they imply this means the Clintons or Hillary or some, you know, had these people taken care of.
I think a lot of people are just drawing conclusions.
And while you do have a bunch of these circumstances, figuring out why and how they would be actual murder is the leap, okay, people are jumping to, but there's more.

Seven-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in D.C. this year.
There is speculation that he was the source of the controversial leaked emails allegedly sent by DNC staffers and that he may have been public in retaliation.
Then Sean Lucas, the lead attorney in a fraud case against the DNC, was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on August 2nd.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Now, I will admit, it does make you think, doesn't it?
I don't know about the Seth Rich thing.
Many people believe that he was the source for the leaked emails that purportedly WikiLeaks put out.
I don't believe it.
I think that Julian Assange was using assumptive language.
The story comes from the mysterious death of Seth Rich.
He's in D.C., and apparently he gets shot and killed, and it wasn't a robbery.
Julian Assange is then giving an interview, and he says, you know, our source have to be careful because, you know, you have this story of this guy, Seth Rich, for instance, who was just seemingly killed for no reason.
And the journalist, I can't remember who it was, was like, are you implying Seth Rich is your source?
I was like, no, of course not.
Considering the implication and the girth of such a story, if Julian Assange was politically motivated, ideologically motivated, and unscrupulous, he'd just say, he'd come out right now and say, yep, it was Seth Rich.
If at any point he wanted that to be the case, he could have just said it.
Perhaps he was keeping that as leverage.
Maybe he cut a deal with Biden.
That's why he got a pardon.
He said, I will never admit Rich was my source.
You let me go.
And they said, fine deal.
I don't believe that for a second.
I think the issue is there is a preponderance of evidence that something is going on.
I think people are falsely putting Hillary Clinton at the middle of it, but I'm not saying she's not involved in any of these things.
I'm saying there is a deep state.
Wetworks is a real thing.
We don't know which of these are real accidents and which of these may or may not be.
It's possible and I think probable that at least considering all of the mysterious deaths, some of them actually are what we call wet works.
That being said, this is going viral from Alex Jones.
It's got 2,700 retweets because it looks like Trump posted it and that he's taking the gloves off.
But in fact, Trump did not post this.
He did not.
Now, I will throw in a little bit extra here in Hunter Biden's unhinged, was it three hour long rant where he's just cussing half the time.
Hunter Biden says his father was on Ambien before disastrous debate.
Apparently he was talking about why he preferred crack over cocaine.
He was talking about why he deserves to have slaves, basically.
Like, he died, okay?
He's got undocumented people cleaning for him.
That was his argument, and it was just...
Hunter Biden is a bad guy.
I have zero sympathy for his family.
For Joe.
I think these people are just amoral, evil, sociopathic monsters.

Jeez, man.
I'd say he's got a mouth like a sailor, but I feel like I'd be insulting sailors.
He went on to criticize the people who oppose illegal immigration because he says, who's going to clean your floors?
Who's going to clean your hotel rooms and farm your crops?
Yeah, that's slavery.
And he goes, bless these people for coming here.
Yeah.
Imagine if these people actually had a strong right to their labor and all that stuff.
Imagine if they got paid a living wage and imagine if they came here legally.
Imagine the Americans of any ethnic background who would do that job for a living wage.
But see, what they want to create is a world in which nobody works.
It was the stupidest thing imaginable, to be honest.
These people are basically laying it out like, we are the descendants of grandeur.
We have no reason to do work.
We will simply bask in the wealth of our ancestors.
And for that, we will collapse.
We will give up our birthright.
And eventually someone else will take over.
That seems to be their play.
Me, I'd like to see humanity expand and reach the stars, as it were.
But the mentality of Democrats, burn it all down, extract the wealth, and that's the end.
That's the world they live in.
Not all of them.
But even the ones That are all hippy-dippy and want to live in the trees don't want progressive, they don't want scientific progression.
So, what more can you say?
In the end, I'll put it like this: I think the Bidens are evil.
I think this guy has exposed himself as the smarmy, evil guy that he is.
This interview did him no favors.
He's an angry, bitter, entitled, drug-addled man.
And I think Joe Biden represents that.
He made the guy, right?
I think Barack Obama is crooked and was engaged in a conspiracy against these United States.
That's the evidence seems to show.
So I'd like to see action taken by Trump.
Now, everybody's screaming for Epstein and all those files.
I want those too, but we'll go down the road in defending this nation, and we'll start with going after the uniparty establishment shills and their conspiracies.

Let's grab some Rumble rants with the last few minutes we got.
Bilder just says, so Trump or his buddies are implicated.
Whether or not the implication has been fabricated or not is the question.
I'm getting clown-pilled.
Clown-pilled.
Let's see.
Demosthenes.
How do you pronounce this?
Demosthenes.
Is that how I'm pronouncing it?
Hey, Tim, I'm currently in Hagerstown.
Can you give me some suggestions for here in the surrounding towns?
Hagerstown.
How far is the Bavarian Inn from you guys?
Let me check the map real quick.
Let's see.
The Bavarian Inn is one of our favorite places in the area.
Resort and Brewing Company.
And I think it's pretty close to Hagerstown.
It's not super close, actually.
All right.
Unfortunately for you, it's drivable.
I think you're going to be like 40 minutes, 30 minutes.
I'd also recommend Dutch's Daughter in Frederick, about 30 minutes from Hagerstown.
And Bricks in Martinsburg.
They're all about equidistant, but those are some of the best spots.
I don't know if we have any favorites in Hagerstown, to be honest.
Yeah.
Can't say that we do.
We don't come up to Hagerstown all that often.
I recommend checking out Dutch's Daughter in Frederick, though.
Or Bricks in Martinsburg, depending on which direction you want to go.
Probably the same distance.
Google says, I feel like the whole problem is Pam Bondi got caught by James O'Keefe lying in public.
And instead of telling O'Keefe I was lying to get that woman to shut up, she went on Fox News and wouldn't shut up.
Well, it was like some nanny.
It was like some random woman she was talking to.
She was talking smack.
KWA says, disappointed in you last night when talking about Hunter.
The last time the Democrats talked about keeping slavery, what happened?
Civil war.
Yep.
We have talked about illegal immigration as a pretext for a modern civil war.
I don't know for sure.
The argument being that Democrats are going to use similar arguments to maintain their slaves, only this time they're going to say, they came to us.
You can't have them.
And Trump would argue that you are flubbing the numbers.
There's a three-fifths compromise argument in that I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats tried pulling another three-fifths compromise, saying something like, okay, let's make a deal.
Amnesty, but only for three out of every five.
People don't understand the three-fifths compromise was basically that the southern slave owners said slaves should have a right to vote.
And the North was like, you're nuts.
You can't have them vote.
And so they cut a deal.
Every slave would get three-fifths of a vote.
Yeah.
Silly.
I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats try pulling off something like that with illegal immigrants.
But for now, we will gear up for that raid on our friend Russell Brand, who is set to go live right now.
I believe he is live.
So my friends, smash that like button.
Share the show with everyone you know.
I really do appreciate you guys tuning in.
Thanks to Rumble.
This is one of the biggest live shows in the country.
It's kind of amazing.
We've consistently hit the big charts on this morning show.
We're in the offseason politically, so it is what it is.
We're starting to see sports and other big live shows.
They maintain their audiences year-round.
Politics, not so much.
Maybe I should start video game streaming as a means to build up a separate audience for watching video games or something.
And then, you know, we'll keep it stable.
But that's how it goes.
We're in the off-cycle year.
Next year, it's midterms.
Things start to pick up politically.
Then you got primary.
Then you've got presidential election.
That's the cycle.
So, it is what it is.
Thanks to you guys keeping up with the news and paying attention.
We can keep working throughout this season, unlike Stephen Colbert.
